Small Hands Guys/Gals, What 9mm fits best in your hands?

hilega

What 9mm's (9mm Luger/Parabellum) do you all shoot (small handers). The gun store I have visited has a limited number of models, so I haven't had a chance to handle everything I want. So far I have handled a Beretta 92 Centurion, and 2nd gen Glock 23 (I know .40, they were fresh out of 19's). I am also looking at a H&K UPS 9, Sig 226 (& 228/229), a Beretta Vertec, and Ruger P94 or P95 in 9mm. I know a lot will say Khar's, and recently have heard a lot of people shooting CZ's, but of the guns mentioned above, what do you small handed people shoot. I am NOT looking to conceil here, just something that fits well in my hand. I have also looked into the Beretta 92 Compact L Type M (single stack 8rds).

Don't overlook the Sig P-239, single stack and very compact for a full sized caliber gun...

I'd agree with Saxon about the High Power....factory grips and bulky Pachmeyers (SP?) can be improved on....I'm a big fan of Craig Speigel's custom wood grips for my carry piece. Check out this article by Wylie Capp on the High Power for Ladies, it covers the hand/fit question you have raised.... http://www.cylinder-slide.com/lady.htm

"Just looking that fits well....".You answered your own question.

I have always found that SIG pistols seem to have disproportionately slim grips. I had to put a pair of Hogue slip-on grips so that the 228 I was issued would fit my hand.

Try the SiG P239 as sujested, I like the Browning Hi-Power with the Pachymer Signature Grips.....

My wife packs a S&W CS-9. She likes it. I can't shoot it straight!

Sorry, I can't be tricked so easily......you won't find me answering a question like that and admitting that I have "small hands"...

One of the smallest-feeling high capacity 9x19 pistols I have ever held is the Browning BDM. Being steel, the frame can be very thin when compared to aluminum, which makes it smaller. It seems as slim or slimmer than many single-stack pistols to me. As stated, the original FN/Browning High Power is also relatively slim. The SIG P226 (and most other SIG pistols) can be fitted with a short trigger, which helps on the trigger reach. Many of the single-stack pistols mentioned might be smaller as well.
